A tornado that caused rain, thunderstorms and strong winds was recorded this Thursday between 3:40 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. in the town of Playa Baracoa, Bauta municipality, in Artemisa, reported Raydel Ruiz Sánchez, meteorological observer.
The phenomenon traveled from the Héroes de Cangamba primary school to the town of La Loma, covering a distance of approximately one and a half kilometers.
Along the way, it caused damage to power lines, partial collapse of roofs of homes in the town of La Loma, and demolition of trees.
“Due to the damage caused and the short duration of the phenomenon, it is classified as EF0 with winds between 125 and 137 km/h, according to the Improved Fujita scale,” he said.
The meteorological situation was due to strong diurnal warming, high relative humidity content and local instability conditions, as well as the presence of an upper trough located in the Gulf of Mexico.
